Other Projects

In 2021, I’ll be taking a step back from writing short stories. I will continue to submit what I have, but I have so many ideas for novels that I want to start putting them down.
What are your goals for 2021? How do you plan to achieve them?
*Edited 3/01/2021: Was originally 5 submissions but that was too easy. I’ve changed it to be 5 every 2 months.
